3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Ah... it appears my nemesis RAYBOY01 has been the last to sample this beer. This gentleman has repeatedly thrown down the gauntlet to race me to 1000 ratings... then recants as if he simply dropped the glove. I think he is attempting to thwart my perseverance through sheer confusion, but he does not realize that I am a juggernaut, out of control!!!!
Ahem. Yes, well... this beer pours a dark copper with a sediment haze topped with a creamy, cream-colored head. Big, harsh & almighty citrus in the aroma with juicy grapefruit. The alcohol that arrives later is strong and reminds me of my childhood and my mother trying to get my fever down through alcohol sponge baths. Bitter hops are predominant in the flavor with abundant citrus, while malts do not add sweetness as much as add depth. It may be the power of suggestion, but I could swear I also detect caraway. Hopheads rejoice, you’re really going to like this one.

3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Spicy crisp aroma. Rich red amber with an off-white head. Malted bitterness with a pepper like spice. Lively carbonation. Has sourness but leads to a clean finish. Quite unique on the palate. I’m not crazy about it but yet I like it still.

Pours a red, coppery colour with an off-white head. The aroma is bright from hops, and slightly rye bread-like. The taste is bready and sweet, with a mild hop finish. It is medium-bodied with an appropriate amount of carbonation.

Pours a dark copper with a thinnish head that dissipates quickly to thin rings. smells fairly hoppy and inviting. On the palate comes a burst of juicy hop flavor, followed by toasty malt and all 70 ibus of hop bitterness. Finishes bitter with more toasty grain flavor. So long rastafarye, hello new favorite rye pa.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours slightly hazy light reddish-orange with thin creamy off-white head. NIce complex aroma of caramel, pine, citrus and spicy rye. Taste begins with caramel malts and citrus with a good amount of rye spice. Finishes with a nice lingering rye bitterness. Very nice brew with the bitterness of the rye and hops balancing out the caramel sweetness of the malts perfectly. A winner.

Pine, flower, apricot, and citrus in the aroma. Flavor starts sweet with some fruit and spice, then finishes with a wallop of hop bitterness. Different and really good.

On tap at Stag’s Head in Manhattan. Pours a crystal clear amber with pure white head with slight lacing. Crisp farm raised grain with sweet malt from the fresh rye. Lots of flora and citrus explode on the aroma with orange as well. Taste is grapefruit and bitter finish on last half of palate.
